Generally what people report as a pink cast is actually a magenta cast.

Have you printed a nozzle check?

You have run a nozzle check haven’t you?

Of course if you really mean EVERYTHING has a severe pink cast you may have burst a blood vessel 🙂

Your ICC color profile settings may have gone up the pole for some reason. If you need help on them just ask.

99.9% of the time a magenta colour cast is due to double-managing the workflow. I.e. Colour managing in PS *and* colour managing through the printer.

I am going to have to disagree with the percentage if not the thought. I see a lot of magenta casting from white balance from both scanners and digital cameras that are out of whack.

I think that’s probably true. However, the OP was talking about printing, and if it’s got to the printing stage then we’ve already properly colour corrected and profiled the image, haven’t we? Consequently, 99.9% of the time…. 😉

Had the same thing with my 2100.

Cleaned the print heads and it was then OK
